guy finding-yourself musical
I'm mostly a keep-to-myself kind of guy, but you slowly find yourself getting folded into the musical tapestry.
ideas people trying
The idea of trying to predict what people will or won't respond to is risky.
song writing emotional
I write songs on a course of time that's comfortable for me. I would probably never write a song from start to finish in the course of a day, hell probably not even a week. My mind is always going to change and my emotional state will also change on a daily basis.
artist people trying
It's like half the campaign of selling a record is trying to convince people that you're an artist. Well, I am an artist. This is what I do.
records firsts easy
My favorite records are not easy - they're not records that reveal everything to you the first time out.
school play new-things
I didn't start playing music really until I was 18/19, so it was a relatively new thing. I didn't play much music in school.
song dark might
I feel the reasons my songs might seem dark is because of how I viewed the situations I was in and it was just something I always felt like documenting.
couple heart play
You play a couple of shows, and these label guys come - and they leave halfway through a show. Then the phone calls just stop. And your heart is broken.
attention deficit distracted
I don't know if I'm attention deficit, but I certainly am easily distracted by other things.
aspect certain function
I don't function well in certain aspects of society, and you can read into that what you will.
sleep thinking honest
Music is really everything I know. To be honest every experience I've ever had has been brought up from music and everything I do is because of music. I don't know anything else, I think about music before I go to sleep and it just really is everything that I am.
water quiet grew
I grew up in a place called Malahide, which is by the water and is beautifully quiet, leafy, and part serene.
memories children tape
I have some vivid memories of walking around as a child with a cassette tape.
I like what I like, I don't like what I don't like, and I'm very bad at toning myself down.
